Updated schedule: Sage Academy Plus

Next up: Irvine, CA—February 17-20

Sage Academy Plus is not just your standard Sage Academy training course, but an extended six-month intensive program that offers substantial benefits for those interested in enhancing their sales, marketing, and consulting organization.

In addition to registration to a Sage Academy of your choice (Sage Sales Academy, Sage Marketing Academy, or Sage Consulting Academy), Sage Academy Plus program participants also receive the following benefits:

  • Instructor-led, monthly peer group calls with fellow Academy alumni to reinforce learning, share best practices, and build community
  • Monthly one-on-one coaching with a professional coach for accountability and execution

  • Ability to earn back the full price of the program—earn $1,000 for each incremental new unit sale made during a 12-month period (up to $2,000)

The program fee is $2,000, and you can earn back the entire $2,000 cost of this program by simply making incremental sales! In addition, you may register multiple employees, and double or triple your benefits!

Note: We have made some changes to the Sage academies schedule. The duration of this program is six months and begins on the first day of class for the academy selected.
